This is actually debatable.Hashirama has no counters for Space/Time techniques but ofc everyone will just jump the gun and say Hashirama > Minato because that's just how it is around here...

Hashirama still stomps every other kage.
For that matter he stomps every other ninja we know except of course current Madara.
In order of strength and ability to win a battle
1) Hashirama
2) Tobirama
3) Hiruzen ( prime )
4) Minato

I'd say Minato is the least skilled of all the kage but with good reason. He died so young he never reached his true potential. He was younger than Kakashi is now when he died.

Orochimaru > Physical attacks

Only for a set amount of times. Oral rebirth drains a lot of chakra and his stamina is no better than Sasuke's. Eventually, Orochimaru reaches his limit and Minato kills him for real. By the way, by your logic, Orochimaru>Hashirama since he uses physical attacks, and we all know Hashirama's superior.

U shouldn't use age as an argument in a world where 17Y old dudes are fighting strongest characters while people above 30 are being supporters.

Base Hasirama might have problems with Minato, but once he goes SM it's not even close.

Hashi's SM increased danger perception + reflexes. Given Madara took Hashirama's SM, I'm assuming Hashirama could essily do what Madara did when he countered Tobirama's FTG. And that's just one

Minato is the least skilled but was able to become a perfect sage? Seems legit.

Tobirama and Hiruzens Sage Mode is pretty cool though... Oh wait -_-

Tobirama was ever a contender? Lmao.
Hiruzen was only a 'contender' because of hype.

It's always been between hashirama and minato. From kyuubi attack flash back, hokage linup has been hashi > minato >
tobirama/hiruzen > tsunade.

and hashi > Minato > Other kage.

Hashi's SM increased danger perception + reflexes. Given Madara took Hashirama's SM, I'm assuming Hashirama could essily do what Madara did when he countered Tobirama's FTG. And that's just one

ugh no. Because madara has shown between speed, reflexes and cqc combat than hashirama. Hashirama didn't get 6 rods in his back, while madara didn't even break a sweat, because he's near madara in those respects. It's only as a kid, when madara didn't even have a sharingan, they were shown to be equal in that respect. After that all flashbacks show hashirama throwing massive wood madara's way.

Let's not forget that Minato has enhanced danger perception and reflexes as well from SM. That would balance it out.

Assuming Minato is as strong in SM as Naruto he may stand a better chance.

+frog kata extending his taijutsu reach.


Well that part isn't confirmed. Being a perfect sage doesn't guarantee frog kata as you have to train separately for it. Minato would be even more OP if he does have it.

You must be registered for see images

This would mean that if he does have it, he wouldn't even need to touch people in order to mark them.

He need physical contact to place the marking but he don't need PC to hurt his opponents.I don't think Minato need SM to match Hashirama's reflexes,Hashirama/Madara's reflexes are good enough to fight FTG users but that dosen't mean that they are above/equal to Minato/Tobirama,IMO Tobirama would have put a better fight against Madara if he don't have that strange rinnegan ability and same goes for Minato.

Minato's true power lies within his sealing capabilities i guarantee it.. however there is still much to be shown.. i will admit it would certainly not be an easy fight

I used to think Hiruzen was bad(and he still is), but Minato is a joke.
His uselessness is on a completely different level, he might even be more useless than Aquaman.

Hashirama, Tobirama, Tsunade and even Hiruzen destroy him low dif.

Uhm no, that's not by my logic, that's you trying to twist my words around in favor of your argument. Unlike Minato, Hashirama has wide-scale attacks that can decimate Orochimaru, so nah. Plus you act like Orochimaru has low chakra reserves when that's clearly not the case. You have to have LARGE chakra reserves to gather Nature energy in the first place

Yet Orochimaru was capable of gather Nature energy and inserting it into his CM. OR is taxing for anyone who doesn't have large reserves.
